This is Morbid, and it's part two of a two-parter. Oh my god, and it's kind of morbid in the morning.

68.204 - 86.037 Ash

It is, that's why you might, you might hear sleep in our voices. I know, honestly, probably not. I woke up with a fucking jolt this morning. Did you? Yeah, I just, well, because I woke up. Oh yeah, you were like, ah! Yeah, I was late. What else is new? But I made a good ass coffee. She did. She made a great ass coffee. I wasn't sure if it was good.

86.097 - 98.65 Ash

I thought my beans over extracted, but I don't know. No, I think they extracted the correct amount. I think they might have. And then we had like fun girl talk this morning. We did. We lifted each other up. We did. It was women supporting women in the office this morning.

98.69 - 119.427 Alayna

We were like, you're a badass bitch. Yeah. Tell yourself that every day. Yeah. And you know what? You guys out there, you're all badass bitches. And you should tell yourselves that every day. Yeah, and don't compare yourself to anybody else. No, don't. Because you can do that until the end of time. And you'll always find someone that you're like, well, I didn't do this. And that person did that.

119.447 - 121.368 Alayna

Yeah, okay. Do you like you?

121.709 - 126.913 Ash

Are you proud of your accomplishments? That's the thing. That's the only thing that matters. You like you. You do. You're great.

We're talking about the Black Dahlia case, the murder of Elizabeth Short. One thing I find interesting with this case is that the general consensus of the whole thing was like she was going out to Hollywood to become a star and blah, blah, blah. And that was her only... But in reality, it's like, yeah, she was, you know, she wanted to be an actress, all that good stuff.

0

608.8 - 628.278 Alayna

But people make it seem like she was, that's it, and that was all that was, and blah, blah, blah. It's like, no, she literally was just looking for a new start. Yeah, in general. Like, she was genuinely looking to just start anew. And obviously, she had dreams of, like, you know, being an actress and all that, and she was doing extra work and all that, modeling. Yeah. But...

629.139 - 640.662 Alayna

I think like that emphasis gets put too much on that, not enough on like, she was really going through a lot of shit. Yeah. And she really just was looking for a place where she felt like she belonged.

641.022 - 657.251 Ash

I think that happens a lot with these kind of stories, like the kind of stories where like a young girl goes out to Hollywood and she wants to be an actress. But it's like, that's never the only thing going on in somebody's life. And in fact, usually when a young girl is escaping to California to Hollywood, it's for a whole bunch of other reasons.

657.291 - 665.556 Alayna

Yeah, there's a myriad of reasons that are coming with it. And on top of it, she needed that weather was her, that climate was her ideal climate.

665.636 - 666.897 Ash

Yeah, like health-wise. Because of her lungs.

666.917 - 672.781 Alayna

So it's like, there was many layers to this. And I just think they don't get, it doesn't get talked about enough when it like gets brought up.

672.901 - 674.062 Ash

I agree. I see what you mean.
